agent-controller: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-controller AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from CCDevelopForFun/agent-controller. It costs 1,981 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Agent Controller, a system that defines AI agents in YAML and runs them through different agent runtimes using one shared interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or validating the Agent Controller command-line tool, runtime adapters, agent definitions, registries, or its build and test process.
Why use it?
They explain the repository structure, setup, build, and tests so changes follow the project's supported workflow.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is CCDevelopForFun/agent-controller's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-controller itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-controller configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-controller AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md

Guidance for AI agents (and human contributors) working in this repository. This is the canonical, tool-agnostic guide; CLAUDE.md imports it.

What this is

Agent Controller is a declarative runtime for AI agents: define an agent in YAML (ADL — Agent Definition Language) and run the same spec on the Pi, opencode, Codex, or Claude runtime through a consistent backend interface. The agentctl Go binary compiles a spec and dispatches it over a versioned stdio NDJSON wire protocol to a Node runtime adapter, which loads the local registry (tools, extensions, skills, agents, MCP servers) and drives the session against the model provider.

Setup, build, test

Requires Go ≥ 1.25 and Node ≥ 22.19.0 + npm (the strictest adapter engines floor; runtime-opencode / runtime-codex / runtime-claude only need ≥ 22).

# Build
(cd runtime          && npm install --ignore-scripts && npm run build)
(cd runtime-opencode && npm install --ignore-scripts && npm run build)
(cd runtime-codex    && npm install --ignore-scripts && npm run build)
(cd runtime-claude   && npm install --ignore-scripts && npm run build)
(cd cli && go build -o bin/agentctl ./cmd/agentctl)

# Test
(cd runtime && npm test)            # vitest
(cd runtime-opencode && npm test)   # builds, then vitest
(cd runtime-codex && npm test)      # builds, then vitest
(cd runtime-claude && npm test)     # builds, then vitest
(cd cli && go test ./...)           # includes the schema-sync test

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
